The Principal Facilitators support the Waitangi Tribunal's strategic direction by providing high quality procedural and evidential analysis and advice, and quality assurance of all the team's written advice and planning documents.
Principal Facilitators also mentor staff and inquiry teams and provide leadership in diverse inquiry processes. The Principal Facilitators work particularly closely with Senior Facilitators by providing technical leadership and oversight of all evidential hearing plans and activities.
In collaboration with the Chief Historian and research, registry and report writing team colleagues, the Principal Facilitators provide innovative thought leadership across the Tribunal inquiry programme and all types of inquiry.
